[RUMOR] Halo: The Master Chief Collection for PC reportedly “close to release"

343 has gotten better over the last few years and they seem to actually be taking into consideration community feedback
Hell yea buying with no doubt.
I'm gonna put money on a lot of the issues stemming from them using the PC port that Gearbox severely half assed.
This is correct. The PC port is the root of all issues. Half of the special marine dialogue doesn't function in Halo PC/CEA/MCC because of a sound card whitelist (that has no modern counterpart)

man i've been here before
all this hype from interpreting an announcement and leaks
It's either going to be Reach hitting MCC, or MCC hitting PC that we're going to hear about during SXSW.
Both have been highly requested, and I believe both have been essentially hinted at by 343 at some point in the past.
Honestly, as much as I'd want it to be a PC announcement, it makes more sense that 343 would want to see about making MCC "complete" first before making the port, so I would imagine it'll be Reach hitting MCC. Then, maybe at a later date (maybe E3 this year or another Halo event), they'll announce it coming to Windows 10 (meaning the Win 10 store).
Fat chance of this ever seeing a port to Steam, but I'm sure everyone in this thread already knows this.
gimme both
microsoft combines both ideas in a way that makes as few people happy as possible
halo reach released standalone on pc, not in xbox mcc
I will also take that
What? No that line was in the original Xbox release too, right?
If they do crossplay that will be amazing so I can play with my friend on his Xbox doing Co-Op
Halo is and will always be my top co-operative game. Get a friend (or more if you have multiple xboxes), some beers and sit down on a couch for hours blasting aliens, running each over in warthogs, accidentally throwing grenades at friendlies and fighting over who gets the best gun. Bonus points if you're on heroic/legendary as the game was designed to be played.
$1 only for a month of Halo, $10 a month after. Not a bad deal but sucks I can't own it.
The kicker:
Not on steam. Windows 10 store exclusive. You need windows 10 to play.
If Crackdown 3 and GOW4 are any indication I mean
The Windows 10 store is most certainly not a work of art, and its layout is awful, but it's not the worse thing we could've had. Even though Origin has been out for years, I still find its layout to be awful as well, and it continues to work on-and-off (for me at least). If nothing else, at least the Windows 10 store does what it's supposed to.
In the case of the GoW 4, once you've bought and installed the game, you can just access it through the Xbox app - no need to revisit the store unless you need to uninstall it.
it's really not the bad
I would slog through a mile of broken glass submerged in crocodile infested sewage with two 100lb dumbbells tied to my balls with barbed wire for the opportunity to pay $100 to finally have good PC ports of Halo 2 and 3.
If you don't have win10 by now that's your fault tbh

Looks like an open secret at this point.
that's not even a kicker, really. microsoft has no reason to support windows 7, and little reason to put it on steam when they have their own marketplace. a windows store only release was always to be expected.
I already have Windows 10 due to needing it for my WMR headset but it's not a bad OS so... probably!
Just want to dash peoples hope that it'll be some game on steam. I mean it might, there was that halo mobile game port which was put on Steam IIRC but don't get your hopes up
If I can purchase it standalone, even on Win10 store. I'll get it.
If its gamepass. Fuck it it can rot.
If it's somehow Gamepass only, it's getting pirated lol. They would blow the chance to make tons of money.
Win10 store really isn't all that bad. I got Forza Horizon 3 & 4, State of Decay 2 and Gears of War 4 from it and it's pretty much hassle free. You don't need to launch it after you install it, since it installs games just like any regular ol' retail game.
And their format has already been cracked, so I imagine modding might be possible.
Yeah expecting MS to show any love toward 7 when it has 9 months until EOL is crazy. You're delusional if you think MS is going to repeat XP and extend its lifespan.
Being Win10 exclusive is pretty much to be expected since crossplatform with the XBOne is brain dead easy. Its literally the same platform.
I can honestly see Halo coming back if they release it on PC. The MP of it's own right is competitive and doens't have all these absurd balancing issues most games these days have, could probably spark the OG Halo Comp scene again.
The only thing I want in a halo pc port is an actual fov slider.
